Dear Sir,

We represent a top government functionary in Tehran, Iran. We are looking for trade representative (mandate) for multi-million crude oil deal with our foreign buyer. The deal has reached an advanced stage and considering the nature of the trade, the buyer is not willing to make transfer to our mandate account in Tehran as there is no standard contract paper in place to pass the transaction via regular international banking channel.

As a mandate, the buyer will be paying directly to your account and upon confirmation of his initial deposit, the vessel will sail. For your services, you will be receiving 10% of the total deposit in each deal. And to make things easier for you the proceeds will be re-invested abroad, so you will not have any problem profiling or redirecting the fund according to our instructions.

We will handle the entire closing documentations and export processing. If interested, we will provide you with more details.

Regards,

Brian L. Balbuena
